New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, 46th Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y2 v Y4), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Dushmantha Chameera to Mitchell Santner, out Caught by Charith Asalanka!! Terrific catch! The crowd find their voice again. But it is New Zealand who walk away with the momentum. Full pitcher outside off, right in the zone for the drive but Santner hits it close to extra cover. He went hard and didn't bother to keep it down. Asalanka dives to his right and takes it with both hands. That ball was travelling and he did well to cling on. Mitchell Santner c Charith Asalanka b Dushmantha Chameera 47(26) [4s-2 6s-4]

Dushmantha Chameera to Mitchell Santner, FOUR, not off the middle but the ball has enough to trickle into the rope. Full toss outside off, it was there for the big hit and Santner went too hard, dragged it off the inner half and the extra fielder inside the ring helped him there. No one at deep mid-wicket and long-on could not get around to make the stop

Dushmantha Chameera to Mitchell Santner, 2 runs, 140.1ks low full toss outside off, Santner drives in front of square and there's a chase for deep backward point, the throw goes to the non-striker's end and McConchie is quick

Dushmantha Chameera to McConchie, FOUR, excellent over - 18 runs. 117.1ks slower ball angled across, McConchie gives himself a bit of room and cuts it past a diving backward point. Ratnayake gets around from sweeper but can't keep the ball in play

Dushmantha Chameera to McConchie, SIX, what timing! Another slower ball from Chameera and McConchie has got hold of this. 120.7ks fullish delivery, McConchie just delayed his pick-up shot, got it off the middle and the ball sailed over deep mid-wicket

Dushmantha Chameera to McConchie, no run, immediately Chameera goes pace off - 120.6ks leg-cutter, pitches and deviates away, McConchie does not pick it and is early into the shot, beaten on the outside edge and the ball bounces in front of Mendis

Dushmantha Chameera to McConchie, SIX, pace on and McConchie launches it over the rope. Much needed hit for New Zealand. 138.1ks length delivery, right in the slot and McConchie decides to go leg-side, uses the bottom hand and whips it over deep square leg

Dushmantha Chameera to Daryl Mitchell, no run, was that a wide? Daryl Mitchell thinks so, but umpire Allahudien Paleker isn't convinced. Full and tailing down leg at 141ks, Mitchell got his pad out of the way in an attempt to shuffle and that may have prompted the umpire to deem it as a legal delivery

Dushmantha Chameera to Daryl Mitchell, no run, good length just outside off at 142ks, pushed back to the bowler

Dushmantha Chameera to Glenn Phillips, out Bowled!! And he decides to respond in style. 144ks wobble seam slants in from off and hits the top of leg peg. Glenn Phillips wanted to heave but his feet were stuck to the crease. Was done for pace and late movement as the bll ripped past the inside edge. Glenn Phillips b Dushmantha Chameera 18(18) [4s-1]

Dushmantha Chameera to Rachin Ravindra, 1 run, put down! Second drop of the match. 117ks slower full delivery outside off, Ravindra went for the loft and miscued it high into the night sky. Dasun Shanaka ran in from mid-off, got both hands but failed to cling on. Dushmantha Chameera is not happy with the effort from the skipper...

Dushmantha Chameera to Tim Seifert, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Talk about placement. Tim Seifert did everything on that delivery except the placement. It was dug in short and Seifert wanted to use the pace on that delivery to target the shortest part of the ground - square on the leg-side. He played the pull, but relied on timing rather than power. It flew off the bat and went flat towards deep square where Kamindu takes a well-judged catch above his head. Tim Seifert c Kamindu Mendis b Dushmantha Chameera 8(9) [4s-1]

Dushmantha Chameera to Rachin Ravindra, 1 run, good length just outside off, Ravindra punches it to the right of the diving mid-off for a quick single
